CONGRATS: No gun control in COVID bill

Your Actions Sent Over 1 Million Letters to the Senate Opposing Gun Control

— Thanks for Doing Your Part in This Fight!

For quite some time, there has been much conjecture that the entire gun control agenda of the Left would be inserted into the most recent COVID-19 relief bill that was signed by President Trump on Friday.

Some assumed that Hank Johnson’s H.R. 5717 would be snuck into the rescue package, thus implementing every draconian gun restriction that Democrats can think of.

But GOA activists sent more than one million emails to Senate Republicans — urging them to oppose any and all gun control.

And thanks in large part to your hard work, we can report that the COVID-19 relief bill is free of any of the new gun control restrictions that anti-gun Democrats were seeking.

In fact, there’s even some pro-gun language in the bill. As stated by GOA’s Legal Counsel Michael Hammond, who analyzed the massive bill:

“We believe language in this legislation makes the Dickey Amendment applicable to all of the spending in the bill — thus, prohibiting any executive agency from using the bill’s half a trillion-dollar pot to advocate for gun control.”

But we can’t stand down because there will be even more COVID-19 bills.

So stay tuned for future alerts. As for now, be glad that we’ve won. And, Pelosi, Schumer, and their gang of crazies have lost.

3) Antonia Okafor, GOA’s Director of Outreach, takes on several liberals in discussing the spike in gun sales and government restrictions in the era of COVID-19.

4) Alan Rice, GOA’s New Hampshire State Director was interviewed by America’s Voice News about the spike in gun sales and the inability of NICS to handle the workload which resulted in multi-day delays. Alan explained that GOA has opposed NICS for over twenty years precisely because it can prevent people from obtaining guns when they need them.

GOA on the Frontlines

As you can see, there’s a whole lot going on.

We told you that GOA would continue to bring you updates about what our legal team has been doing.
